Charlotte glanced at the half-eaten carrot in her hand.
She felt that she had never eaten anything more disgusting than this scarlet plant in her life. The indescribable sweetness and astringency mixed in her mouth was simply indescribable.
Charlotte must escape from this damn place, escape from these rude mercenaries, and escape from this countryside full of blood crystal beasts.
Her first step was to sneak away from the table.
Charlotte came to the edge of the wooden table and looked at the ground. She moved her mole claws and was about to climb down from the edge of the wall...
"Don't run around."
A voice suddenly sounded behind Charlotte, and she lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Lu Cheng was quick enough to grab the back of her neck again and put her back on the wooden table.
By the time Charlotte realized what was happening, she had sat back down on the wooden table. Before she could say anything, a large piece of scarlet 'plant' was once again placed in front of her.
The color of this plant is even redder than a carrot, it can be said to be oozing with blood...
Charlotte had been wandering around this ruin for half a month and had seen the blood crystal beasts devouring humans several times, so this thing successfully reminded Charlotte of the scarlet liquid surrounding the blood crystal beasts.
This made Charlotte feel instinctively nauseous.
"You...you don't have anything else to eat?!"
Charlotte wanted to return the scarlet plant to Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng ignored her and turned away.
"Hey!" Charlotte raised her voice again and called out to Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng just walked out of the room, leaving only a mercenary who couldn't understand her words guarding the door.
She sat down tiredly on the dusty wooden table. At this moment, Charlotte inexplicably wanted to cry.
If she was still in the city of Gemansis, the servants would have already prepared snacks and hot water.
After eating the dessert made of sweet sauce and sour fruits, she took a hot bath with the help of the servants and slept comfortably on the soft goose down bed until dawn.
And now, in this dusty little room, he was forced to eat this disgusting plant by a group of mercenaries.
Charlotte thought that the mercenaries' sense of taste must be damaged as they would eat such disgusting plants.
Complaints aside, the hunger Charlotte felt now was not an illusion.
Suddenly Charlotte felt the gopher's nose move of its own accord.
Oops...Charlotte's consciousness was only attached to the body of this gopher, but the instincts of this body were still preserved.
The digging rat's body uncontrollably crawled towards the scarlet 'plant' on the table.
Stop! Stop! It's a rat, it eats everything!
Charlotte found that her consciousness was unable to control the instincts of the mole's body.
So Charlotte could only watch as her short little hands touched the scarlet surface of the "plant", which looked like flesh and blood, and juice like blood oozed out of it.
Anyway, eating one bite won’t kill you…
Driven by this thought, Charlotte closed her eyes and took a bite of the 'plant'.
Oh shit, so sweet.
Charlotte felt the juice in her mouth, which was sweeter than sour grapes, and the soft yet hard texture made her hesitate for a moment.
The next second, she used her advantage as a digging rat and began to quickly eat the fruit in front of her, which was called "watermelon" on Earth.
Charlotte was halfway through her meal when she heard the cry of a crow.
This made her raise her head sharply.
The crow's cry did not come from hearing, but from Charlotte's consciousness.
Many spellcasters in the Gemansis Secret Society are experienced crow trainers. A kind of crow called "Three Eyes" can be linked to their souls to achieve the purpose of reconnaissance and communication with others.
Charlotte came to Huiri City following the guidance of the crow's cry. The controller of the crow told Charlotte that she was waiting for her in the city downstream of the Green Leaf River.
According to the original plan, Charlotte should have boarded the wooden boat and left this hellhole long ago, but Charlotte underestimated the speed of the gopher's short legs.
Now the Three-Eyed Crow has appeared nearby again, and Charlotte must go out and find the crow to tell it about her current situation.
Stop! Don't eat anymore!
Charlotte was thinking, but this body was constantly biting at the big watermelon in front of it.
When Charlotte came to her senses, she found that her cheeks were swollen and she couldn't speak at all.
As long as you eat faster you should be able to catch up!
This thought emerged in Charlotte's mind, and she immediately began to eat the watermelon in front of her.
… …
Located in Silver Sail City in the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai.
This city has been the trade center between the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai and the Kingdom of Skare for the past decade.
But ever since Scarre was involved in the disaster of the blood crystal beast a year ago, this city that relies on trade has become deserted.
Although the city is still some distance away from the border of Skarre, the panic caused by the invasion of blood crystal beasts still made the residents of the city choose to leave temporarily.
Today, the port of Silver Sail City no longer has the prosperity it once had. The merchant ships coming and going have disappeared, and only a few old fishermen are left who catch a few fish before the Green Leaf River freezes over the winter.
"Miss Charlotte...seems she didn't get on board."
White Crow Xizeya stood at the edge of the port. Among the inscriptions branded on her arm, the first line of inscriptions emitted a faint light, and the same characters also appeared on her forehead.
There was a dim white light in her eyes, hidden by her hood.
"Not on board? Didn't you contact Miss Charlotte and ask her to board the Scarre ship?"
A sturdy man standing next to Bai Ya heard her answer and paced back and forth anxiously.
"If we hadn't taken Miss Charlotte away from that dangerous place before the blood crystal beast devoured the core of Scarre's earth vein, Master Baierwok would have turned us into living sculptures!"
The sturdy man walked around the white crow anxiously, with an anxious expression on his face as if his daughter had gone out and didn't come back all night.
Charlotte is not his biological daughter, but she can be said to be the daughter of everyone in the entire Gemansis Secret Society. As the daughter of crystallization, her existence itself is the hope of the Gemansis people.
As a result, the hope of the entire village was suddenly blown into a vegetable by the core of the earth vein crystal due to his negligence.
In this world, Charlotte cannot be called a vegetable. Her soul was caught in the torrent of magic.
Fortunately, Master Baierwok found Charlotte's location based on her soul characteristics, but the bad thing was that this place was being ravaged by blood crystal beasts!
"Miss Charlotte is still in Huiri City, but she seems to have been captured by a group of unidentified people." Bai Ya said.
"Caught? Who dares to catch someone from our Secret Society!" The burly man immediately stepped forward and questioned Bai Ya.
"Calm down Dean, I'm still observing! I've never seen anything like the clothes they're wearing."
The white crow was a little impatient with the strong man's urging, and the strong man chose to shut up. She once again focused her attention on the three-eyed crow she raised.
